I don't share this view. RPG is just not that hard a language to
learn. It's not a mind-bending language. Honestly, any competent
programmer should be able to pick up enough RPG in a matter of weeks
(if not days) to be able to start productively contributing to
maintenance. It may take somewhat longer for them to become fluent
enough to write new code, particularly complex 5250 green screens.
(And how sad would it be if your company is still looking to develop
brand-new 5250 code when you retire?)
